Hi Shani, glad you liked your chicken, and glad you are hooked up with Eating With the Seasons! Pastured chicken season has another 4-6 weeks this year, then stay tuned as we have a lot of new animals in our pastures/forests!!

We have some small soy-free chickens (about 3 lbs ea) available for pickup/delivery in Santa Cruz, Carmel, San Jose area, Palo Alto, or Lafayette (east bay). Pls email to order: [email protected]

A Farm to Table Dinner at Chaminade in Santa Cruz next week will be featuring our eggs, chickens, and livers, paired with local wines and veggies. It's outside, with a beautiful view of the Bay, and one of the more reasonably priced Farm to Table dinners you can find. And the food is great... Chef Bev is very talented!

Starting a new farmer's market in the East Bay this weekend - Lafayette market, in the south parking lot of the BART station... Sundays from 9am to 1pm. Tell your east bay friends!

We'll be at the new Indy Marketplace in Seaside tonight from 4pm to 9pm with eggs and chickens for sale. Come check us out along with other local farms, artisans, prepared food, and live entertainment. Bring your grocery bags... farms are selected to provide shoppers with all major foods. Cinco de Mayo theme.

It's not quite the Ferry Plaza Building gourmet market in San Francisco, but if you're a locavore food buff, the new, monthly Independent Marketplace in Sand City is much closer and provides a satisfying experience.

Federal laws that regulate animal-welfare terminology on egg cartons leave some gaping loopholes while basically allowing producers to make their own interpretations of just what “free-range,” “cage-free” and “pasture-raised” really mean.

Calling all artists! We need a new logo for Fiesta Farm that reflects more diversity than just chickens (though we would like to keep the surfing chicken somehow!). We'd prefer to trade for the logo (our last one cost 12 chickens), but could also pay some cash. Let us know if you're interested ([email protected]).

We'll be opening egg shares for **March only** this week. Still working on sign-up logistics... tentative drop at all CSA sites for this Thursday, with option to pick up Friday as well. This is just a head's up. Feel free to post questions here on FB; Please do not email us at this point (too much email traffic to respond individually).

This little Maremma dog will grow to over 100 pounds and help guard the livestock at our new farm acreage from the coyotes and mountain lions we have already seen in the area. It's a long road ahead though... it'll be a year before we can fully trust him to work on his own.

Will be at the Sunnyvale Farmer's Market and the West Side Santa Cruz Market tomorrow (Sat, 9-1) with lots of eggs!
